Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

I raise the issue of valproate. Hundreds of families across this State have been impacted. Children have been born with disabilities as a result of valproate. It is not confined to this State but it is also in Britain and France. The Minister promised an inquiry in December 2020. We are still awaiting its terms of reference. The financial and other supports promised to families have not been delivered. When will we commence the inquiry into the scandal of valproate?
